My evening to-do list, aside from actually covering the election: Liking all of the posts I see about newsroom pizza. Here's the spread at the @DandC

Live look at newsrooms across the country tonight

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Hail in West Henrietta

The Buffalo Newspaper Guild is proud to announce that its members at @TheBuffaloNews have ratified a new three-year contract with @LeeEntNews. We would like to thank the community for its support over the last five months of bargaining. buffaloguild.org/wp-content/upl…

.@Gannett has so far refused our requests to mediate the final issues for our first contract. Today, the @statesman news guild lunched out to call on the company to come to the table to mediate! #SaveOurStatesman

A lot of impressive hail sightings in the area from the storms passing through the area

I've always viewed it as umbrella terms New York State > Upstate > Western New York > Buffalo. Am I off base here? I seem to only see this sentiment online

What I've never been able to understand is people who get so angry when those regions of the state are referred to as "upstate." The whole "It's Western New York NOT upstate" crowd. I've seen the same in Central New York

I've lived in New York most of my life but never anywhere near New York City. I've always referred to the places I've lived broadly as "upstate" - Bainbridge, Rochester, Cortland, Utica

WE’RE WALKING OUT! ✊ After countless bargaining sessions that management has either delayed, pushed back, or shown up to the table empty-handed, WE’VE HAD ENOUGH! We’re taking a 2 & 1/2 day walk out to show management that we will not stand for their inadequate wage proposal!

What does heat index mean and why is it important in New York? What you should know democratandchronicle.com/story/news/202…

What's this you ask? Why it's us WITH A CONTRACT!!!!! It is what we fought for and now we have it. Thank you!!! To our readers, to residents who stopped by and talked to us while we were picketing, to all the local officials federal, state and local who stood with us.

At the beginning of the month, I was able to preview a new shared-use trail in Naples, NY via @nature_org. Check it out and read my article here: Hickory Ridge trail in Naples NY made for mountain biking, hiking (democratandchronicle.com)

.@Gannett still has not reached an equitable agreement with the members of @rocnewsguild. I continue to urge a resolution that benefits workers, the community and the company.
